⚡DoorDash just announced 7 new features for Dashers, see them here: ruclips.net/user/live8H4_uZ2OVxE?feature=share ➡Join my free side hustle newsletter: www.yourdrivermike.com/newsletter
I just started door dash in an area that doesn't have a lot of business. I decided to do both Uber and door dash but I'm not really getting a lot of orders. This video is helpful.
I made 400$ a day as a platinum driver here in California, let me tell you it’s a hustle getting these orders delivered, I make the most shopping for the orders because i basically know where everything is, I’ve studied the store and where they keep there products , I was just a normal silver rank when I decided to ACCEPT EVERY ORDER, such a pain, got the platinum for DoorDash and it’s exponentially better! So try to become a platinum driver! For all those that are really picky with orders:)
Honestly at least in my area we have so many dashers that if you aren’t platinum, you HAVE to schedule your dashes and it is a struggle sometimes to get a spot!
what is often missed when talking about earn by hour, you get paid ONLY for that fraction of an hour actually spent on the delivery. An $18 an hr offer that takes 15 minutes ( quarter of hour) earns $4.25 cents . Not that you can decline a cheap offer on earn by time
You make more money by earning by time, that’s why DD takes it away as punishment to drivers they want to quit, plain and simple, it’s been proven that wages go down 60% on EBO.
I’ve done earn by time a few times and the one thing I really do not like is that it often takes me to areas I don’t want to go. The mileage is often much farther than I want to be going and I think in 3 hours I ended up with $5 in tips. There were more apartments, difficult drop off areas, etc. I may try it again but I think it’s best for filling up the dead period when food delivery isn’t higher paying like during the dinner rush.
Making the experience even better is to raise the overall offers and money amounts per offer. They need to learn to use the terminology "DRIVER PAID TO WAIT" and create a new delivery driver feature out of it. Minimum .25 cents per minute wait time should be standard for all delivery drivers across all platforms. Someone else beside the delivery driver needs to pay for the down time that's being waited on for the orders to be made ready for delivery. This is the elephant in the room. Tighten up the wait time so drivers can grab, go and deliver on to their next orders and pick-ups. Stop wasting drivers precious delivery time waiting for free on their own dime. Stop the madness!!!!!
What I am beginning to see is that restaurants staff the drive-thru and counter with way to many staff and then have only 1 or two employees do ALL the call in orders....Uber orders AND DD orders making order 10-15 minutes PAST the "time the order is done".... it is now routine to see all the drive thru orders DONE....all the walk in orders...DONE....and the DD drivers are STILL waiting for their orders How about ALL the staff do the orders in the order they received them...... and not have counter/drive thru staff doing nothing while the "online order" staff/ people are inundated with orders.
Seriously!! & the restaurants “sorry for your wait, we’re just really busy”, as if, I could also not be busy on another delivery where I don’t have to wait. It is equivalent to us coming into their job & ask them to work for free! It’s so bad sometimes. I’ve legit waited for around 45 mins in 3 different stops, on a 4 hour shift. Someone needs to do something about it!
I make almost $200 a day on earn by time as a platinum dasher. Whether that plays into it or not, I make good money with eight hours or less a day a mainly less than eight hours
Im starting tonight not sure to pick hourly or the per order..... Just trying to break into it and see I guess after I get going I'll have to figure it out... QUESTION... Each time you dash CAN YOU switch back and forth between hourly and each order each time you dash??THANkS in AdVANCE for answering
Depends on your market area. Like in Honolulu here, all of the late night bars and fast food places are open and all of the grave shift workers are ordering throughout the night. For me, the grave to early morning shifts are the best because there’s only a few dashers up and delivering
Always take timed deliveries when available. The thing that sucks about that is that you don't know if you'll get tipped, but you'll still make out better in the long run. You only want to decline orders that are way out of your area, because you don't get paid for the return trip.
I just wish the pay was a little better base pay because I enjoy doing it I like the freedom of it but I just wish it was back the way it used to be when people were actually making a decent living
I live in between two state colleges in ct and I do the dinner rushes during the week and make $80 to $100 in 3 to 4 hours and then it varies on the weekends
Hey Mike I was wondering if my DoorDash status is any good. I only do it on Thursday after work And Friday,Saturday. I’m located in The Dalles,Oregon. Acceptance rate 85% > Completion rate 100% > Customer rating 5.0 > On time or early 97% > Deliveries last 30 days 73 Lifetime deliveries 68
I prefer to earn by time. Yes maybe they send me farther away, but I get paid for my time for waiting for the order to be prepared and driving to the customer. The only thing you don’t get paid for is the trip back to the hot spots. If you don’t want to get stuck in non hot spot sometimes I pause my dash until I get back to the hot spot.
Yesterday,I had a shop n deliver at restaurant depot.customer wanted like 8 items for his restaurant.ive wasted my whole day trying to finds items,and some of the items was out of stock.just takes too much time.😢😭
Yo Mike I'm in Pittsburgh also and the highest earn by the hour pay I ever seen and also took was on a Saturday night after 1:00 am and the per hour pay was 27.50 that went on till 3:00 am then it dropped to 25.25 till about 4:00. I crushed it that night and that was about first possibly the second week of September, I know the Pitt U students just started classes that was their first full week back.
Walgreens merchant has been dealing with some shop and deliver scams. I do not want to repeat what people are doing. If it's on the internet if you know that's fine. But moving forward Walgreens is going to be reformatting their shopping deliver service they're mostly going to be picking the orders out for the drivers.
@@shadowchu419 actually I talked to somebody that worked for Walgreens and he said it's nothing new really they've been doing that for years. People diving in the garbage cans and taking discarded receipts and returning items that they didn't pay for. Quite possibly in some areas, It is the shady dashers.
Can we get a video on multi app after the tiers update for doordash? Like now we are limited on how many offers we can deny if you want to stay platinum or gold. So how do we do multi app effectively?
No, not really. That’s for you to isolate food and sealed drinks/pop. You are supposed to keep the one that DoorDash sends you for deliveries. (The red one with the logo)
Can you find out if there is an specific algorithm for dash link waitlist. I don’t believe in coincidences . Every day I’m number 64. And the join waitlist button is always 10sec late
I think I would like earn by time Uber don’t have that option to select that only just shop and deliver or fast food restaurants hoping to hear back to be a dasher soon hoping to compare to see what platform is better and stick with that one I see a lot more options with DoorDash in your videos for why you don’t want to accept Uber don’t have some options you have on yours
I like doing earn by time In Pittsburgh, Since I am on an E-bike. Plus I get rather close orders from the business like Baum's Wendy that take for every to get an order out so gives me time between stops to charge.
I live in the portland area and i usually make 15-20 an hour with earn per hour or earn per offer. Is that decent or am i wasting my time? I see alot of people complaining about door dash and now im wondering.....
It depends on your market, I’m in Orange County California so it’s very saturated here, multi app helps with cherry picking better orders, or getting more orders overall.
If you want tips make the customer feel important if you have a problem with wait time tell the customer what’s going on with the order the want to know where their order is and most of them understand Driving like a jackrabbit is not going to get you anymore tips could get you in a accident. Keep the customer informed and use your brain no one owes you anything.
What is your Tier status? Are you only taking orders that make sense? I don't think I could make 85$ if I worked a whole day. I work the evenings and can barely make 50$, most times it's 30-50$. My earnings have gone down, and I think it's because people are ordering less. My acceptance rate hovers around 30%, I won't take low paying orders, they have to be more than a dollar a mile. I'm not killing my car but I'm making less than I used to. It is to the point where I'm looking for other ways to make money, maybe even a W2.
Door dash don't care either if they screw you on pay or if you're getting deliveries in the posted minutes they are saying for time est for a dash I waited for almost a hour when it said 1 to 3 minutes wait time
When I do earn by hour I just decline anything that is super far away. The more orders im landing on someone’s door in that hour the higher probability I have or collecting tips
What do you mean by super far away? I'll get several orders per session that are 10 miles away on EBT, I have to take one of them or else get booted. The whole time I'm driving back I'm just upset.
Not true... I get ripped off on earn by time. If I accept a stacked order and unassign the second order to pick up after waiting 10 plus minutes... it takes me 45 minutes from accept to drop off... got paid 6$ and some change... anyone else experience this?
seems to me anyone who accepts MORE offers, make more money although some will be less paying. and declining orders goes against you anyway! how come you never speak about "declining orders"? in detail!
I never get waitlisted on dashlink. Any time Im notified about it early morning It says waitist closed exact same time. Anyone else facing this issue? Is there a specific time waitlist opens other than specific time ?
For me drive by time sees $12,50 for 11.5 miles. Takes at least 45 minutes. Doesnt take lo e to get my 2 declines in. I am finding UE much better since i can decline so many garbage offers
Earn by hour is EARN BY THE MINUTE. PERIOD. It worked for me in north central Florida because the delivery distanced was usually long distances. Any other times I've found it's a waste. I don't like being forced to to take all orders. And, I found that's how DD gets the no tip orders done. No thanks

Then get to platinum and stay there.
@ I do, I’m just pointing out why the claim that being platinum doesn’t make a difference isn’t true in all locations.
Made $50 my first hour, not in a very busy area either. Took 4 orders total

I'm a starting dasher. My goal is to hit plat, and go for $200 a day. This was so helpful!!

I'm glad they have the cash option. Cash gives power to the people & takes it away from the banks & government.
Well, not exactly, if they decided tomorrow that $20 bills were unacceptable currency, there's not a damn thing you could do about it.
@@AbdullahKhan-qg1fp True, but if they decided NO bills are acceptable there's not a damn thing you could do as well... except hard protests.

@@Clockthatteaaa123 I'm feeling you, like I said it's the elephant in the room nobody's talking about sadly 😔. My math works out for the most part.
especially when these fast food chains now wait till the dasher gets there to make the orders since dashers ping ponging low paid orders.
am i wrong ? the better the customer tips ..the less doordash pays as base pay!!
Correct
@godlevelmaterial which is such bs
Call it what it is , tip manipulation they were sued a while back for this stunt
@@dougnew8152 apparently it didn't changed anything
Wtf seriously
I make almost $200 a day on earn by time as a platinum dasher. Whether that plays into it or not, I make good money with eight hours or less a day a mainly less than eight hours
Nice! I also do but earn by delivery. Seems to not matter if I'm top dasher or not. My ratings are all great.
How many miles, and what state is this?
@saint_j-s9g I'm in Australia :). I do a lot of shopping delivery orders.
@saint_j-s9g I'm in Australia 🇦🇺 😎 :) I do mainly shop & deliver. 120kms. At 153kms, I made $285. Made $140 with 63kms. So different every day.
That’s awesome!
Have been dashing for a year and very very rarely get $2 per mile normally $75 per mile if $1
Same here I live in charlotte great area for dashing and rarely get $2 per mile you’ll be waiting all day to get that lol
I love when the gut gives away his doordash bag 🤣
I was thinking the same thing lol
Im starting tonight not sure to pick hourly or the per order..... Just trying to break into it and see I guess after I get going I'll have to figure it out... QUESTION... Each time you dash CAN YOU switch back and forth between hourly and each order each time you dash??THANkS in AdVANCE for answering
Tonight was my first night as well, made 8 orders in 4 hours .
You always talk about peak pay but it's usually from 1:00 a.m. to 4:00 a.m. who is opened ?
Depends on your market area. Like in Honolulu here, all of the late night bars and fast food places are open and all of the grave shift workers are ordering throughout the night. For me, the grave to early morning shifts are the best because there’s only a few dashers up and delivering
Fast food drive thru. Very long wait times. Definitely not worth it.
Walgreens, CVS mcD, BK, Taco Bell, Wendy's, White Castle, IHOP, Denny's, speedway, 7-Eleven
@@bubbasue74 best order I had pay late night It was a catering order for McDonald's five bags thr customer paid $40, for a very short distance
@@markg7540walgreens doesn’t have food bro.
Always take timed deliveries when available. The thing that sucks about that is that you don't know if you'll get tipped, but you'll still make out better in the long run. You only want to decline orders that are way out of your area, because you don't get paid for the return trip.
You are the most accurate video's wity plenty information for beginners on this type of business.
I prefer dash by order so that way I know what to accept and what to decline without having to worry about declining one in the early hour
I just wish the pay was a little better base pay because I enjoy doing it I like the freedom of it but I just wish it was back the way it used to be when people were actually making a decent living
I'd be a happy camper if there were a $5 base for anything under 2 miles.
Me too I really miss being able to do this for a career
they pay less base pay the better the customer tips..such bs
i remember my very first day dashing i made $80 in 4 hours :)
I'm at about 60% shopping orders. Yesterday all my 8 orders were shopping.
I live in between two state colleges in ct and I do the dinner rushes during the week and make $80 to $100 in 3 to 4 hours and then it varies on the weekends

Peak pay in my area is only overnight hours.
When all dasher have stopped dashing for the night.
Usually between 9:30 pm and 10:00 pm.
Peak Pay in my Market starts usually at 11:30 pm
Yes, and for me it's not worth personal injury or hitting a deer. 😢
@@nadjanickerson7206 are people really open to deliver food during those hours like -11:30 pm to 4 am?
I am in California. I like shop and deliver, because CA has Prop 22 law implemented
The best offers are large order offers! 🎉 Too bad they are so rare. 😩
Yesterday,I had a shop n deliver at restaurant depot.customer wanted like 8 items for his restaurant.ive wasted my whole day trying to finds items,and some of the items was out of stock.just takes too much time.😢😭
That the worse 😫😫😫😫
Who gives the customer the DD bag? 5:14
Right!?
Why would you give them YOUR bag?

Even on earn by time they still give you a slotted amount of time that you need to complete the order
Can we get a video on multi app after the tiers update for doordash? Like now we are limited on how many offers we can deny if you want to stay platinum or gold. So how do we do multi app effectively?
Yes, I want. To see a. Multi app video
Just sign out when you do another delivery from another company
Take every door dash order pretty much
could you do a vid on filling drinks or not me down here in texas i found out its illegal.but would want some clearity on this
I only do EBT until 100ar and in 3500 deliveries i have never gotten shop order. I go as fast as I can to get more tips per active hour.
6:50 how do we find this screen? Do we need to be active dashing to see this? Where lol omg
How does dasher rewards work with DashLink? How does it affect your acceptance rate, if at all?
So you give the dasher bag to customer?
No, not really. That’s for you to isolate food and sealed drinks/pop. You are supposed to keep the one that DoorDash sends you for deliveries. (The red one with the logo)
When do you have time to Dash while making your content?

Drove two hours around today to hotspots and didn’t get one order. What is the trick ?
Anyone that multi apps, is it lucrative?
It depends on your market, I’m in Orange County California so it’s very saturated here, multi app helps with cherry picking better orders, or getting more orders overall.
Shop & delivery orders are the worst. It's almost like Doordash has a magnet for items out of stock. It's infuriating. Especially Dollar General.
If you want tips make the customer feel important if you have a problem with wait time tell the customer what’s going on with the order the want to know where their order is and most of them understand Driving like a jackrabbit is not going to get you anymore tips could get you in a accident. Keep the customer informed and use your brain no one owes you anything.
I just started driving for door dash and really don't understand the earn per time and earn by offer
Did anybody else notice at like 5:20 in the video, that dude gives the customer his whole DD bag?😭😭😭
I can't Afford this anymore it's killing my car and not profitable to work the entire day for a big 85 bucks

Do it on ebike in your downtown area
I’ve never done earn by time. It’s rarely offered to me.
Door dash don't care either if they screw you on pay or if you're getting deliveries in the posted minutes they are saying for time est for a dash I waited for almost a hour when it said 1 to 3 minutes wait time

Why did the dude let the lady keep the door dash bag?
No, taking cash is a NO go!
Why
Because i hate dealing with cash. Unless it’s going to “off” me, it’s the card that wins.
By offer
Not true... I get ripped off on earn by time. If I accept a stacked order and unassign the second order to pick up after waiting 10 plus minutes... it takes me 45 minutes from accept to drop off... got paid 6$ and some change... anyone else experience this?
Yes and called Door Dash on it and they said there was nothing they could do.
I wish I had this offer in Phoenix, Az. Here we have lowball offers 💩
seems to me anyone who accepts MORE offers, make more money although some will be less paying. and declining orders goes against you anyway! how come you never speak about "declining orders"? in detail!
Earn by offer because I get shop and order. I don’t get shop orders on by time
I never get waitlisted on dashlink. Any time Im notified about it early morning It says waitist closed exact same time. Anyone else facing this issue? Is there a specific time waitlist opens other than specific time ?
Some people get the waitlist at 12 am the previous day I’ve seen it on another drivers account. I wanted to do it to but all the spots are full
They don't give us shop and deliver on earn by time in lake havasu city az.
I drive a truck so earn by time is a big no for me
For me drive by time sees $12,50 for 11.5 miles. Takes at least 45 minutes. Doesnt take lo e to get my 2 declines in. I am finding UE much better since i can decline so many garbage offers
On rare occasions your order has already been picked up by another dasher.....
Dashmart doesn't show the items any longer. I had so much water that didn't fit in my car. I had to unnasign.
I legally carry a handg@n with me. Does DoorDash allow dasher to self protect?
Earn by time is always locked for me :(
Oh gee, a Uber Eats driver hit my neighbor's parked car a few minutes ago. An illegal who doesn't speak English.
You ask for comments but you never respond.. WTF??
Lmaoo it’s for our engagement and education not him; bro up now
$11.75 is our hourly pay right now.
Yeah it varies! Richmond is only 13/14 an hour. Im out of words.
Earn by hour is EARN BY THE MINUTE. PERIOD. It worked for me in north central Florida because the delivery distanced was usually long distances.
Any other times I've found it's a waste. I don't like being forced to to take all orders. And, I found that's how DD gets the no tip orders done. No thanks
Door dash is garbage and a complete waste of time. I will never do another dash ever again.
You’re a smart man.
Definitely can leave that impression 😂
You gotta be selective with orders and use the right car.
Ahh so your accepting the orders I’m declining 😂
Same, I tried it for two days and only made $70. 😎 Watched a multitude of videos, like; I will take $10/hr now, please and thank you.
